in georgia where they've accused their own citizens of being spies tell us more about that. last year we saw thirteen people rounded up and arrested in just last week nine of those one hundred down sentences ranging between eleven and fourteen years for espionage now the from the russian side who of course being accused of having me spies operating in georgia they're far from happy they say they think that the georgians are being heavy handed when it comes to labeling people spice. anyone i guess is just a level of democracy has been. well it's not just the russian foreign ministry we heard speaking to a spokesperson there who of believe this no georgian daily newspaper who is opposed to saakashvili government today were. least an article suggesting this what they

see is a witch hunt is taking place in the country against those who oppose saakashvili they have said that previously added being businessmen politicians and scientists now the attention of that which earns seems to have focused on journalists in their opinion all right artie's peter are on top of that story for us in moscow thanks for that report. turned out of the day's other top story you'd think being found innocent of an alleged crime would mean the end of a quarter nightmare but not when the media has been shouting guilty throughout us single mother casey anthony was cleared of murdering her two year old daughter this week but it's done little to sway public opinion that's been spurred by t.v. and newspapers or on a stasi churkin reports. innocent until proven guilty it's a whole mark principle of the american justice system legally after shoved aside from the vigor of some of the arrests young african black and brown subjects being

a lot of coverage in the news do you think it's right for women or men to report any sexual encounters they feel uncomfortable with this week let's talk about that if she feels that she's been violated i think reporting is the best idea and how that plays out you know that that's how that plays out the reporting is should be a woman's instinct at what point does it cross over to consider just for attention . yeah it's a it's a tough line between those two people with just two people it's impossible i think women should not get in situations i think there are lots of times that we put ourselves in situations and we have a messenger insiders that says get out of there and sometimes we don't listen to that message. says no or she says no it's a no no is it the same for women as for man one hundred percent so why do we treat it more as a woman's issue because it happens more often to women. but men have

a pride to go serve a big rubber soul don't bother. about money rich get richer the poor get poorer. so is this just another way for women to get rich. so do you think it's fair that the law generally tends to side with women. and i think it's impossible to really say what's fair what's not at this point again like ari ari the is of what fair change so much i think in general my inclination is to say yes it is because women have for the most part of been the victims for so many years that you almost have to side more with them in order to make it equal it's like affirmative action in a way like you have to do something to make things better so that they're not always the victims no matter how you feel about the lines of sexual assault the bottom line is that the rule no means no will always be a good one to follow. you can find plenty more at r t dot com here's what else is

a boycott reports. here we are in the village of chast. and for the past to an hour fifteen years its population has been steadily increasing here is the reason why. it's monday morning and alexander a former prison guard is it work testing the incoming employees for alcohol. if they're over the limit there is a choice to be cited for a no show and lose thirty percent of them on salary my job three kilometers and be docked ten percent of that months wage those who do the testing every morning regardless of gender or position within the company could be cool but they will see it on their paycheck and that's a strong incentive not to drink you working week. inforced alcohol abstinence is the idea of this man alexander able to cough is the director of the still such plan and likes to extend his influence as far as possible

a man of big ideas he had the very epitome of micromanagement for the past fifteen years he's been preaching to his employees how to make good sausages and how to live a good life. while it is a must it's the quality of the product they gave you this job in the first place and it's the quality that determines whether you'll keep it after firing dozens of workers for showing up drunk at work or xander started laughter in his employees on the harms of alcor hall three times a day during with breaks you got the holy roman emperor charlemagne so that those could drunk for the first time should be beaten with a stick those court for the second time should be beaten in public court for the third time should be hanged as a former boxer he's not shy about exercising his rule with an r in face and has built his version of the iron curtain around his plan with dozens of video cameras around the facility employees have no chance to circumvent the law of big brother

on the off side thefts and no longer the issue. there is a very rigid and most people find it hard to comply but those who don't play by alexander's rules don't work here. alexander's drive to set the rules of the game doesn't and within his plan the only corporate tax payer in the village are four thousand people he's taken on a very wide notion of social responsibility using the plants profits he paved only local roads renovated the school and built the church and while he agrees that modesty is a virtue of his fondness of giving guidance and advice is evident wherever he goes in you are doesn't matter that you come from a village what matters most is to get a good education thank god we've got good teachers and behave well in school is that clear. but this approach has divided villagers the majority believe alexander is a blessing from a minority and primarily those who he's fired on not as impressed. as the old

saying goes one man's meat is another man's poison not everybody in this village appreciates alexander philosophy and he's in that city and spreading it around some people call him a control freak others to resort to more agricultural language his opponents also include some local officials who believe that alexander has too much power that infringes on their own authority that will xander accuses them of not doing enough for the people when i ask him whether he'd like to run for office he's a response was a resounding no but you're blessed i think the whole purpose of power is to create to make life around you better and in this regard i have all the power that i need as for the iron fist i think every successful activity requires discipline strict discipline and it starts with me instead of waiting for somebody to come and do something i do it myself i may offend other people but sooner or later they'll

understand that i was doing it for the wrong good. many historians make the case that russians prefer authoritarian leaders and the tackling the deep problems of alcohol addiction and rural isolation need street discipline and total control good or bad in alexander's case it seems to have proved efficient a kind of boycott art see the village of. oregon the region. and coming your way after the headlines of how the arab influx into europe is further straining its multicultural credentials and whether russia faces are similar situation stay with us.
